    I'm studying nursing now but really regreat not studying medicine. Can't drop out and apply again cause I'm already on my second first years... Does anyone know any way I could avoid doing the 4 - 5 years of undergraduate medicine after I get my degree?

    There's no way around it. You'll have to do the full four years of the graduate entry programme.

    Well as a nurse myself I think it is sad that someone wants to move on before giving it a whack (proverbially of course).

    UL allow for a postgrad entry into medicine in Ireland.

    Good luck

    Old thread, I would say they are long gone from nursing, or spending every day of their thinking they should be a doctor. Just what nursing needs, more wannabe doctors.

    Yeah, true.

    It's rare enough, but I've seen it before from:
    'I wish I was a doctor'
    Or more commonly
    'I wish I studied psychology'
    And.....I sh1t you not.....
    'I wish I was an OT'

    I know we're all peed off with the government continually making us pay for the governments financial mess, so moral is a bit low, but we can do without people coming in and regretting it. The job is too damn hard without a wannabe continually in my ear.

    Don't get me wrong.... I love nursing and working with patients, but I've just lost interest in trying to convert people who have no interest in it.

    Jees...I know I shouldn't write on boards after just waking from a night shift. I'm usually more positive than this.

    Infact, I'm still in Nursing. Going into third year. First year was not challenging enough til I went on placement and fell in love with nursing.

    This annoys me. Why would people bother going into nursing if theyhave no interested in it?

    Make the most of the less challenging times, they are the good days.
